That flag is on every construction site in America that requires a flag. I'm guessing it's there to alert low flying aircraft. When I was traveling, with my job, I saw it everywhere. I used to think we had lots of fans in the construction business all over America.

I'm just going to choose to believe all construction workers are Vol fans. No harm no foul.

How do some of y’all come up with this stuff? JJ Peterson has been here for what, maybe 3 months? Not to mention he is behind some studs that are playing solid.

JJ has been here since last fall, so over a year now. The team as a whole is just now turning the corner, so i'm not counting JJP out just yet, but with the WH3 coming in and some of the other LBs we might get in on if we win out he needs to start producing sooner than later or else he will indeed be a Bates 2.0.

Same. I got on when he defended Peyton and he seemed like a voice of reason. But now he just looks for things to whine about. As bad as Tomi Lahren.

I am not a big fan of Clay. He got big through sensationalist journalism. But, I agreed with his take on the NBA and China. His takes these days are usually supported with sound arguments, too.

Clay is the hype man for the privileged racists frat culture lol. Dude is always on some kind of witch hunt or beating a dead horse.

He also said Marcus mariota would be a hall of famer 😂😂

Still doesn’t mean that taxation isn’t theft. What’s the penalty if you don’t pay taxes? Threat of force or violence? You go to jail? How is that different than a mugging or robbery?

What happens if I don’t pay my plumber For fixing my pipes? Same thing? Doesn’t mean it IS a mugging or robbery...

edit: I don’t like taxes and think they may be unconstitutional but we gotta pay for services, national parks, roads, etc somehow

Not that part. Just calling Clay and all frat guys racist. And I am not a fan of fratboys either...but..come on. I guess prosperous white people are all free targets.

No not what i wasnt trying to say or limit it to just well off white guys. Just people in general have a lot of closet racisms that they can’t be real or open about so a guy like clay who is very smart and a strong personality has found a niche that plays directly to those people. He didn’t used to be as political, race, or just a witch hunter. I used to enjoy him bc its mostly just funny random stuff with sports mixed in.

I just think he’s went extreme that way.

He was (and probably still is) so immature. Just to get a rise out of people. He reached fame by using sensationalism. He doesn't have to do that as much anymore.

SEC rule still exists on transferring in conference - sit out a year, unless grad transfer.

That is the rule everywhere. Which is you apply for a waiver and try to get an exception to the rule. I do think it would be much harder though because coaches will fight them harder. We tried with Gibbs, no luck. UF is now trying with Cox and was originally confident, but he's gotten no answer yet either. I'd bet Kirby is gonna fight it like hell.

Gerritt Cole - in a big hurry to spit on a fanbase who was nothing but loyal and fanatic about you for 2 years. Immediately after the game last night, he put on a cap advertising his agent and told everyone listening he was no longer a part of the Astros organisation.

Just another free agent looking for a big payday. Pretty common in professional sports. That's just business.

Hate to keep replying to you, but each of your replies couldn't be more wrong. TN is one of the least burdensome states when it comes to taxes and cost of living.
TN has 9th lowest state Income + Sales tax rates
States With Lowest Taxes 2019
TN has 14th lowest state Property tax rate
2019’s Property Taxes by State
TN is 7th lowest state for cost of living
Cheapest States To Live In 2019

I think you misunderstood me, or maybe I worded that one poorly. "Raise rank" is a positive attribute, plummet is a negative.

I was looking at a most burdensome ranking list, where Tennessee rose to 47th most burdensome including all items, and you were looking at it ranked by least burdensome.

Sorry for the confusion :)
